★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Karla Conyers · Jan 2026

Anyone who gave this place 5 stars I know you lying or you’re friends or family with the ppl because babyyyy this food was the 2nd worst from Indiana I have tasted and that’s why it got 2 stars instead of one. The food had to been a few days old. When the young girl which she was nice was putting the food on the tray I had to tell her I got a dinner not kids meal or lunch. First of all everyyyyy side looked either dried out, under cooked or days old. She should’ve stirred each dish to keep it from looking or being dried out. The Curry chicken I will say was ok but I can tell they took my food in the back to warm it up in the microwave making it more dryer. The Mac and cheese wasn’t Mac and cheesing at all very dry & NO flavor and the sting beans was dry and looked old. I thought let me not

At first I received the wrong order because of a miscommunication. It was easily resolved and I got the food I ordered. The staff was very accommodating. The food was amazing the chicken was flavorful, and tender. All of the sides were great as well I got mac and cheese, and greens. Everything was a ten out of ten

★★★★★ 5.0 April Buenrostro · Nov 2025

Ordered a half dark and half white. Red beans and rice with gravy, mac and cheese, green beans. The chicken was tender, fall of the bone. Sides were decent and had a good taste. The older couple know how to run a business. The young lady working was too loud; talking about her business and not liking another employee. "Seems like a great business and that doesn't need to be discussed in front of the customers."

The worst jerk chicken I have ever had in my whole life!!!!!!! I have been to Jamaica and of course have experienced the best food of my life while there fresh and fire roasted as chicken should be that is jerked. This however has been the complete opposite. The chicken taste like it was boiled and not even fire roasted bland you cannot even eat it when you're starving. I have no idea why this place has five stars it is horrible the people in Indiana must not know what good jerk chicken is. If you would like to experience the best jerk chicken you will need to go into the city of Chicago. I will never ever ever ever order from this place ever ever again I will keep going to the place on 82nd and cottage Grove and I'd rather drive an hour to go get some good food. I hope whoever is r

For the second time within a month, I’ve ordered a brown stew lunch meal. Instead of communicating with me, telling me that the meal isn’t offered, they send my delivery driver without my meal. Take the meal off the menu if it’s not available, or kindly communicate to substitute the meal. The meal was refunded expeditiously, but communication needs to improve immensely.
